Do they come with a battery attachment that will go right with the power cord into the outlet in the wall. That way if you are reclined and the power goes out. or something does happen where there is no longer electricity going to your power lift chair.
The battery attachment will work as a battery in the meantime so you can either recline or go down to a seated position from the lift option if that is an issue. You won't get stuck in it and it's a way to ensure more safety when using these power chairs.

And size as well. It's going to allow you to be much safer and it's going to prevent injuries. Lift chairs are often designed to be used for extended amounts of time whereas regular recliners may not be. A lot of ours come with features that are going to increase blood flow and help with swelling in the legs and just make it safe to even sleep in or to use as your primary bed.
The standard position for a lift chair of course is going to be reclined to 45 degrees and then raised almost to standing so that it makes it easy to go from seated to walking.
There are a bunch of customizable options you can do with lift chairs as well.
Lay completely flat with an adjustable headrest; an adjustable lumbar or a zero gravity feature which is going to maximize circulation and blood flow throughout the body.
And an eclipse feature which is going to tilt the entire chair on a 45 degree angle that maximizes sleeping and napping. Having multiple positions is a lot of the times the main reason people do need lift chairs.
If you do have some aches and pains in different joints having the right positions available to you on your power lift chair is going to really help with that pain.
With power lift chairs we see three main groups of people but we've also seen people outside of these as well.
It's usually going to be elderly people people who have disability that need help going from seated to standard positions or people recovering from surgeries either mostly knees or shoulders when that pressure from standing is just causing additional pain that's just not necessary.
Lift chairs do come in a huge range of sizes all the way down from a junior petite which is going to be the smallest size offered from our manufacturers.
For people who are five feet or even a little bit shorter than that we also have manufacturers going up to a chair that is able for people who are seven feet tall and a weight capacity ranging from 375 pounds all the way up to 700 pounds .
Concerns include whether power lift chairs lift too quickly or are too confusing to operate because of lots of extra buttons on the remote. These are probably the two biggest concerns we usually hear about with the lift chairs. They all have power so you can let your finger off the button whenever and it will stop whatever it is doing so you have full control.
Most manufacturers do have in mind the clientele that they are going to be producing for so they are much slower motors.
Television seated and standing has very simple controls you can get programmable ones that do need a little bit more of an education to use but it's still not too bad. The size of the room with power lift chairs is going to come into play a little bit more than with other reclining furniture. Power lift chairs will need adequate space to fully recline.
Lay flat or recline extended they do not have a wall hugging feature that is able to be applied to those chairs so you would need to make sure there's adequate space most of the time. it's going to range between 12 to 14 inches up to about two feet away from the wall is going to be the space you're going to need depending on the size of the chair of course..
Concerns about the price point that these chairs are going to cost is another worry. We carry a huge range here at the Recliner Shop and they're going to start around 800 because they will have additional features from the traditional reclining furniture and then it will go up from there.
Our best category being our premium reclining furniture that is also going to have the power lift features are going to be starting around 2000 to 2500 depending on how many features you would like and what fabric choices you would like on there.
While our premium chairs are going to start around 2000 to 2500 the sky really is the limit here with these depending on how many features you would like to add and what fabrics and if you want anything additional like massage or the eclipse feature with that 45 Degree tilt.
While there is a lot explained in this article there is still a whole world about power lift chairs that is really there to be discovered.
